Thrawn

Robin M Cabana

This book has everything I love about Star Wars fiction: written by Timothy Zahn, two of my fave villains Thrawn and Vader; and female characters (Padme). It deals with Vader’s memories of Anakin and Thrawn’s awesome mastermind abilities. The narrative jumps between the Clone Wars and Rebels eras. I just didn’t love the story overall. Maybe I didn’t like the conflict/alliance between two of my favorites?

Alliances (Star Wars).

Not as good as the first book, but I still enjoyed the hell out of this. Can't wait for Treason to come out in July.
